From: Norman Bassett, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Come to think of it, why are we being denied access to some parts of the evidence by Lord Cullen? I can't remember any evidence at English Public Enquiries being kept back in this way, can anyone else assist my recollection on this? Is this to do with Scottish legal differences from English law? Regards Norman Bassett drakenfels.org -- The inquiry was required under Scottish law, this is why there wasn't one after Dunblane. I'm not sure of the exact power Cullen had to require some of the evidence to have a closure order placed on viewing it. There are powers in the law relating to legal proceedings and the identification of minors. I was told that the 100-year closure had been placed on Det. Hughes' report because he named minors in it. My personal view is that Cullen did it so that no-one could read about who was taken in by Hamilton to save them from being embarrassed and humiliated. In 100 years no-one will care, of course.
